Evidence Against BitTorrent Users Slammed In Court

To be honest, you'd think that a group that has filed lawsuits against more than 100,000 people in a single year would at least have some concrete evidence before going to court.

The U.S. Copyright Group has sued more than 100,000 alleged BitTorrent users since last year. But, a recent filing in a U.S. class action lawsuit filed against the group shows that these cases may be built on shoddy evidence. It cites a German court ruling where the company responsible for providing the evidence could not prove that defendants actually shared any files. In addition there was evidence of a pirate honeypot.
